9/10 Wonderful! (1,003 reviews)

The room, the staff and the neighborhood around it plus the access to the beach makes it a perfect spot if you’re in Ipanema. There was construction next door so it got really loud sometimes especially when you want to enjoy a meal and coffee on the patio.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (49 reviews)

Great stay! We’ve stayed here 2 times before and love it. Amenities are beautiful. Very exclusive and quiet for a romantic stay or just a quiet time in a high class resort. Staff, once again, are very young and with a high turnover, showing inexperience not proactive. If you are by the pool, no one offers anything, you have to hunt the staff, as if they were too shy and hiding from work. But my family and I would return it for sure!
